Isnt it about time to add more auction houses? Are we gonna have to wait for a friggin expansion pack before this happens? The game has been out for 7 months and we were told from the start that AH's would be added to the major cities... the lag in IF is stupid then try to get mail or god forbid create an auction. It takes sometimes up to 20 or more secs when I create an auction.
I'm not sure what you guys do every weeke during "weekly maintenance" but it doest do jack for IF lag, mail lag, AH lag.
Cmon guys for real!

We're still looking to link Auction Houses between each major city for both factions, however you must understand that before doing so, we have to analyze and prepare for the impact that this would have on everyone. For example, many players use IronForge/Orgrimmar as a hub to trade items, look for groups, guilds, enchantments, etc... Linking Auction Houses would disperse players between each city making it much more difficult to accomplish many of these necessary functions. This doesn't indicate that we're not planning on making this change, only that we wish to improve in other areas before such a change is made.

Q u o t e:
Have you considered adding AHs exclusively to Thunder Bluff/Darnassus, to increase the population in those cities? People already utilize Undercity and Stormwind quite a bit, but TB/Darnassus are ghost towns. AHs could really increase traffic to those areas.
As stated above, we realize that this would occur, and while this would prove positive in some areas, it would prove negative for those using the high population of Orgrimmar and IronForge to perform many functions which would be difficult with the decrease of player traffic. It is doubtful you will see linked auction houses until at the very least, we're satisfied with our "Looking for Group" tools.
